When Milton Knox committed to the Bruins this summer, everyone knew that UCLA was getting a good running back. As Knox has progressed though his senior season at Birmingham high school, it has become very apparent that everyone was wrong. Knox isn't good. He is a super star.A few weeks ago, the Birmingham running back set the LA city rushing mark against Chatsworth. If you think about that for a second, it is incredibly impressive. No other player in the history of the city of Los Angeles has run for more yards than Knox. There was also LA News story on family support for Knox. He has a lot of people pulling for him and he has definitely made them all proud this season.
This has been a fantastic season for Knox. His Birmingham team beat perenail power Notre Dame in front of a national audience on ESPN 2. He was the star of the game going on to score 3 touchdowns. That was all the more impressive considering how many future D-1 football players were lined up against him. The Patriots also beat Long Beach Poly and they could be headed to the Division 1 State Bowl game at the Home Depot Center. All in a days work for this team which also features future Bruin linebacker Donovan Carter. These two will be making headlines in Westwood in just a few years.
Here are some highlights from game against Notre Dame:

Knox runs much like a great running back we had a couple years ago, Maurice Drew-Jones. His size and the way he gets through between the tackles very similar indeed. Raymond Carter and Milton Knox in the back field in a few years, we'll be having another One-Two punch running backs just like this year.
